Needless to say, I'll probably never do it again.
Same here. I shaved it off 25 years ago the morning I was headed out for a 10 day hunt trip. Mrs. Doomonyou was not amused. Kids went nuts. Been packing it ever since. A little more grey in it these days.
Tell me about it. My mustache is still salt and pepper, but my beard's gone almost snow white. Don't know what I'd look like if I grew that out. Probably get more strange looks from the family .. LOL
